tell this African-american we've regressed to those times of 1963 and before, I'll believe it. We are in a "decline" as a culture politically, socially, racially, economically at least for the working poor vs the new ruling class, the billionaires. Yeah we ARE in decline. An African-american won rights in 64-65 long denied them as american citizens and Nixon-Atwater 'Southern Strategy' was and has continued to be the racist RW reactionary response since then for African-americans. RW reaction, politically and culturally to our current POTUS has shown just how rabid that "decline" has become. Don't tell me we haven't, along with other decent americans, been watching the 'decline of empire' since '63'.......
